Arturia CS-80V ReviewOh, this must be heaven for Vangelis fans, the best known Yamaha CS-80 user. But, wait, if you never heard from Vangelis, still, I’m sure you’ve heard the CS-80 many times in many records from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Jean Michel Jarre, Asia, Yes, etc, etc.

Because this synth is a beast (literally over 200 lbs): 8 voices polyphony, patch storage, and polyphonic aftertouch, and of course its sound make this synth unique, and nowadays, rare and very expensive. Luckily for us, Arturia has came up with CS-80V synth plugin, a wonderful recreation that sounds as warm and fat as the original! Lets check it out! Overview.The signal path of the CS-80V starts with two VCOs which can produce Triangle, Saw, pulse waves and noise.
It will always output triangle or saw, and you can turn on or off the square wave and set volume for the noise. The pulse width can be set up manually.Then, there are two sets of VCFs with resonant HPF and resonant LPF, which can be switched from 12dB or 24dB modes, and no, it won’t self oscillate (unless you keep reading). Each set of VCF has its own dedicated ADR envelope.There are 2 sets of VCAs with VCF level, OSC sine level and ADSR envelopes.Speaking of modulation sources, each VCO, has its own dedicated LFO which will go up to 50 Hz, making audio rates modulation possible; each LFO can output sine waves, ramp and inverted ramp, pulse, noise and random waves, it’s good to mention that pulse wave from LFO has its own dedicated PWM slider. LFO can be free running, triggered by note or mono.One thing that made the CS-80’s sound famous is its detuning ability, you’ll find a slider for this matter right before the ring mod section.Speaking of which, the Ring Mod, is beautiful, it will go up to 300 Hz, and its speed and depth can be controlled with a simple AD envelope.Original CS-80’s LFO would output only triangle waves, but in the CS-80V, it can output all the same waves that dedicated VCO’s LFOs can. Labelling is a little weird, as the LFO is labelled as Sub Oscillator.
Another weird thing is that all small sliders, function the other way around you’d think so: for higher settings, you need to pull down the slider. Bravo two zero book review. This weirdly labelled LFO can go up to even higher 60 Hz rate and can modulate VCO, VCF or VCA or all three at the same time.Next, we’ve got octave settings for each VCO, two rows of presets, and some interesting macro controls for filter: here, you can balance between VCF I and II, and weirdly labelled brilliance slider, is nothing else but a cutoff macro slider, and then resonance, and here things get awesome. Do you remember I’ve said filter won’t self oscillate?

Well, I’ve kinda lied about that, cause with this macro controls you can indeed make the filter self oscillate! Sorry about the lieFinally for this row, we’ve got aftertouch and keyboard control sliders for pitch bend and LFO (aftertouch) and HPF/LPF and VCA1/2 level for keyboard.Other cool addition from Arturia is the Arpeggiator, which can be of course sync’d to MIDI, and will play Up, Down, UP/DOWN, Random, or as notes were played in up to four octaves and up to four repetitions.After the arpeggiator, we’ve got one of the coolest controllers ever: the ribbon strip.
